RANCID Integration with RHEL
I’m trying to install RANCID on Observium using the doc http://www.observium.org/docs/rancid/.
I get as far as
Run this command to create the folder structure:
su - rancid /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs
but get
-bash: /var/lib/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: No such file or directory
Is there a different directory when running Observium on RHEL that I should be using to create the folder structure?
It's wherever you installed rancid. Did you install Rancid using a package manager (yum/rpm)? On my centos6 dev system, it's /var/rancid. Try:
su - rancid pwd
to show the location of your rancid home directory.

I installed it using yum. the location of the rancid home directory is /var/rancid but it is empty.

[root@cent7-vm observium]# rpm -ql rancid | grep rancid-cvs /usr/bin/rancid-cvs /usr/libexec/rancid/rancid-cvs /usr/share/man/man1/rancid-cvs.1.gz /usr/share/rancid/rancid-cvspurge
Thanks, that helped some. Can I get help working with the rest of the instructions as far as what the .cloginrc should contain for the identity path? I think it would be:
add identity * /usr/libexec/rancid/.ssh/id_dsa
I’m not sure about the public key credentials part of the instructions either. Again, I’m assuming that the path would be /usr/libexec/rancid/.ssh but I don’t see a .ssh folder in that path.
When I set it up on rhel previously, I loosely followed the instructions on the shrubbery page and these:

Good luck!

Thanks, Aaron. Looks like I have Rancid installed but I’m confused when editing Observium’s config.php.
$config['rancid_configs'][] = "/var/lib/rancid/observium/configs/“;
What path should I use instead?
